    Dr. Perkins is great. She throughly does a wonderful job of answering all my questions, making me feel heard and making sure to follow up with prior concerns or symptoms I have had. She always includes me in on some of the decision we make regarding my treatments. She takes into account how I feel and what I would like to do moving forward.
